Ms Pawle, Here are some other sources in the Lehigh Valley area you may want to check with. In Allentown, the Lehigh County Historical Society since a large population lived in the first ward. Also check with St Mary's (Ukes club) someone there may be able to guide you as well. Then there is the Slovak Club and the Hungarian club, both may serve as resources. Finally the Polish club, all these clubs served the various ethic groups which inhabited the first ward. I have sent you iniatial email one to some folks and may return more info. oh and St Johns Club on Front Street, this is a Slovak Catholic Club( stop on a Sunday Breakfast is awesome( i suggest the everything omelet))associated with the attached church and school.One of the wonderful pieces about the 1st ward in Allentown is the many ethic churches and neighborhoods associated with them. You may also want to research into the brewery industry since many of these immigrants work their, and lived there. -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Valerie Pawlewicz Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 4:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Assistance please--re: Bethlehem, PA Dear Museum list serve, I am doing research in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, specifically on the Slovenian community who live on the southside. I am writing the listserve for two reasons: one, I am looking for researchers and institutions who have information about this community that I could access; two, as I gather information and materials, I am looking for sites to archive and/or to share this history.
